TFBillsfan Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 1 minute ago, gonzo1105 said: The Bills need to somehow win 4 games left to get to 10-7. 10-7 most likely gets them in 9-8 and prob not unless a lot of teams fall off Gotta beat NE, Chargers and then at least get two more at the minimum out of Philly, KC, Dallas and Miami. Even at 10-7 I worry about us losing to tiebreakers. Lose to Philly and KC and the playoffs maybe unreachable with literally giving games away against NYJ, NE and Denver. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airseven Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Parity in the AFC is brutal. Contenders will suffer more losses, but it’s hard to be encouraged when the Bills are staring at 6-7. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Success Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 I mean, if we lost to BOTH Philly & KC...who cares? That basically means we can't beat the top teams. We have to at least split those games. No choice. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the bills can’t even entertain winning 2 of 3 against these three teams coming up making the playoffs was a complete waste of time/draft position anyway.

DapperCam Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 NYT Playoff simulator has us at 25% chance to make it. I'm not sure if their model takes into consideration teams losing their starting QBs for the season. It would make past results for those teams a lot less indicative of future results. Steelers and Browns both looked terrible today on offense, but somebody had to win. Texans barely beat an awful Cardinals team. Things feel wide open if we can play up to our ability. Here are teams within 1 game of a spot and their remaining SOS: Browns* (7-3) #25 SOS Texans (6-4) #23 SOS Steelers (6-4) #27 SOS Bills (6-5) #2 SOS Colts* (5-5) #26 SOS Bengals* (5-5) #1 SOS Raiders* (5-6) #6 SOS * Indicates they lost their starting QB for the year, or have benched their starting QB for the year The Bengals and Raiders are done IMO based on their QB situations and SOS. Of the top 5 remaining teams we still have h2h matchups, so some guaranteed losses in there.

They’ve opened as a 1 point favorite over cincy. Steelers could probably lose any of their remaining games despite the schedule being ‘easy’. I think pit and Cleveland could both fall off Jacksonville vs Houston is big next week then Cleveland and Houston play eachother so someone has to lose that one.

Houston vs Browns Houston vs Colts Steelers vs Colts Miami doesn’t look very good either so there’s still a division win path…their tough stretch doesn’t hit until the final three games though so it could look like they have things locked up then get tight in a hurry I don’t really buy the nyt algorithm, the Steelers do not pass the eye test.

Generic_Bills_Fan Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 If we end up missing the playoffs it is very likely we will be the team with the highest point differential to miss the playoffs in nfl history. Current record is the 1989 49ers missing at +100 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelius Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 A lot of people just lazily lumped in that Chargers game with Kansas City, Dallas etc as if it’s going to be insanely difficult. Chargers are now quietly one of the worst teams in the AFC. The remaining schedule looks a bit less insane than it did on paper before the season.

This I like there chances to make the playoffs. Heck I could even see them putting in. A scare against the playoff opponent depending on who that is.

zow2 Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Even if they lose the next two games (which i don't think they will)...the Bills will still be on the "in the hunt" graphic. But I do think Buffalo has a good shot to steal this game at Philly. The Eagles will be coming off this huge emotional MNF revenge game at KC. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
